Talk:European Liberal Democrat and Reform Party Group/Archive 1

Predecessor groups
I would propose to cover the predecessors of the ELDR Group (Liberal Group, 1953-75; Liberal and Democratic Group, 1976-85; Liberal and Democratic Reformist Group, 1985-94) in this article as well. There is general consistency between these groups, only the names changed. The article about the EPP Group also covers its Christian democratic predecessors. Plus: having extra articles for every single of these groups would require continual maintenance for four articles which would be more difficult to realise. What do you think?

 * Your proposal is sound, and it has my full backing. --Autospark (talk) 23:18, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

Name
The current name is wrong, ELDR became a party in 2004, at the same time it already formed a new joint group, the "Alliance etc." So, there has never been a group, called after a party, as before 2004 there had been no party and after 2004 this group does not exist anymore. --SamWinchester000 (talk) 01:32, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
 * It's referenced in the article that there was a European parliamentary group existing prior to 2004 called the "European Liberal Democrat and Reform Party".--Autospark (talk) 15:14, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
